Rescue Unit for two years. He was assigned to the patrol

On November 5, 1982, Deputy Graves was on routine patrol on
Shaw Avenue in the Fresno area west of State Route (SR) 99
in a marked patrol vehicle when his vehicle was struck by a
pickup truck driven by an intoxicated, 28-year-old Clovis
man who had run a stop sign. Tragically, the collision
resulted in severe head injuries to Deputy Graves that led
to his death prior to his arrival at the Valley Medical
Center. He is survived by his wife Karen, his two
daughters, Kelly and Christine, and numerous friends.
This resolution designates the segment of SR 41 from
Herndon Avenue in the City of Fresno to Avenue 10 in Madera
County as the "Deputy David G. Graves Memorial Freeway".
The resolution further requests the Department of
Transportation to erect appropriate signs upon receiving
donations from non-state sources to cover the costs.
